Common Questions
How does this clinic remove amalgam fillings?
The clinic follows the Safe Removal Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART), a protocol set forth by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, which prescribes guidelines for the safe removal of metal fillings. The clinic notes that drilling amalgam releases large amounts of vapor potentially dangerous to the patient, the dentist and the medical team, and states it has the specialized training and equipment to carry out the work.
What replaces a mercury filling after it is removed?
The clinic replaces mercury with a white composite resin shaded to match the surrounding tooth structure. The clinic also notes that composite insulates the tooth from temperature change, where metal conducts heat into the tooth.
When does the clinic suggest considering amalgam removal?
The clinic lists several circumstances: fillings over ten years old, grinding or clenching, sensitivity to metals or symptoms of heavy metal toxicity such as brain fog, neuropathy, behavioral disorders, poor gut health, hair loss or anxiety, teeth that have begun to fracture around the fillings, and fillings that have become sensitive. It recommends removal before fillings break down and possibly begin to leak.
What happens to the removed mercury waste?
The clinic states it is the only dental office in Illinois using the Anterior Quest HG Containment System, which separates mercury from the wastewater leaving the facility, and that the removed mercury is transported to a licensed disposal facility for recycling. Illinois sets no regulation on wastewater quality leaving a dental office.
What does a first evaluation at this clinic cover?
Beyond the teeth, gums and jaw, the dentists ask about diet, physical well-being, medication use and oral care habits, review medical history, may take X-rays when necessary, and check blood pressure and other health indicators. The clinic frames this oral-systemic review around conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which it states may affect dental health.
